Japanese · Oxford
Sushi with small children can feel like a stretch, but this Oxford spot takes the guesswork out of it — there's a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access, so a buggy and a hungry toddler are both accounted for. The quiet noise level makes it a calm choice for an early weekday dinner rather than a boisterous one, and vegan and gluten-free options mean a fussy eater or an allergy in the family needn't rule it out. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a little one needs air. Worth booking ahead.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
